Days. 1260 literal days.
Revelation 11:3 and 12:6

Also “time, times, and half a time”
Daniel 7:25 and 12:7; Revelation 12:14

Of note, Revelation 12 describing the plight of the woman in two places is part of the strong support for “time, times and half a time” being correctly understood to be 3-1/2 years, as 1260 days is 3.5 360-day Hebrew years.

Where the plain sense makes sense seek no other sense.

Once you start ripping away at literal terms and casting off their moorings to their canonical definitions, entire tracts of scripture evaporate into inscrutable gobbledygook, totally up-for-grabs to anyone who wants to shrink-wrap a plausible allegorical take onto the denuded text.

Owing to such, many have been led into grave error and made a shipwreck of their faith.

——>Days. 1260 literal days.

Different for Prophecy time periods

Were the 70 weeks of Daniel 70 LITERAL weeks, or PROPHETIC weeks? 490 years, right?

3 1/2 Times - Rev 12:14, Dan 7:25, Dan 12:7
1260 days - Rev 11:3, Rev 12:6
42 Months - Rev 11:2, Rev 13:5

The 360-day year is a problem. I don’t know of any evidence that years were shorter in Daniel’s time than they are today . The Hebrew Calendar used 12 lunar cycles (29.5 days) for a year (354 days)with months added when needed to keep the seasons. If you use 360-days for a year, you will change winter into summer in 35 years.

3-1/2 years ≠ 42 months ≠ 1260 days. This introduces other possible interpretations. God put these proportions in place when he put the stars in motion. The cycle is 19 years. 12 short years and 7 long years. Very common numbers. Coincedence?

Take Daniel 7:25 for example...

Can’t be literal days because the Little Horn comes out of the 4th beast, Pagan Rome, already divided into 10 kingdoms (Barbarian tribes), and lasts until the second coming of Christ.
